↪ Notes: OCP originally set way too high; fixed in later reviews from July 2024. Excellent electrical performance. ATX 3.1 and ATX12VO compatible.
↪ Notes: Ripple on 12V was shown at 52mV, all other requirements for tier A proper are met.
↪ Notes: Overall performance is not that great despite a capable platform. Platform just needs to be tuned better.
↪ Notes: 122mm depth (extremely compact.)
↪ Notes: Overall performance is not that great despite a capable platform. Platform just needs to be tuned better.
↪ Notes: 13 year warranty. 5VSB OCP still allows for extremely excessive ripple. Good performance otherwise.
↪ Notes: Transient response doesn't quite make it A tier, no direct protections testing.
↪ Notes: Limited testing; rating could be higher once additional testing exists.
↪ Notes: Claims necessary protections but weren't evaluated in Aris' testing, OTP was kicked in during voltage regulation testing.
↪ Notes: Solid electrical performance, however let down by poorly modulated protections and mediocre ripple performance.
↪ Notes: ATX 3.1 is claimed, but the unit fails to meet the spec due to poor ATX 3.1 excursion response. Treat as ATX 2.x.

↪ Notes: 1000W has very poor transient response in the 200% ATX 3.1 excursion test, poor regulation on 3.3V, OCP is set way too high on the minor rails.
↪ Notes: Claimed DC-DC, internal shots from 2023 show otherwise. Confirmed GR.
↪ Notes: Pre production sample used for testing.
↪ Notes: No protections testing, performance testing is not extensive. Need further testing to move beyond tier E since Jiumeng is the OEM.
↪ Notes: PPFC; e-waste, same as the 83+ XE
